MUSKEGON — Construction will kick off Wednesday for a $2 million men’s shelter at the Muskegon Rescue Mission, officials said.

Carla Skoglund, executive director of the rescue mission, said part of the expansion was paid for by local donors. The public is invited to attend the 10 a.m. groundbreaking at the shelter, 400 W. Laketon, Skoglund said.

“We are so grateful to our donors, who have given toward this much-needed building, while continuing to also give toward our ongoing operations,” Skoglund said. “The community has recognized the great needs in our community and really stepped forward to support the work of the mission.”
